spearmint17 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 i highly suggest "The Haj" by Leon Uris. it is a story of a man who went into a pilgrimage to mecca and thus became a haj. the story deepens when the first jews from the holocaust started arriving in Palestine and establishing a state of their own. This book will give readers a somewhat augural view of what's happening in the middle east right now. although it was written years ago, it is a timely book for those who want to examine the root of the middle east conflict. palestine, readers will know, was the twice promised land: the british first promised it to native palestinians, and then to the jews. moreover, the country jordan was once part of palestine, before it was turned into a puppet government by the british. it is no wonder, then, that palestinians and jews are fighting over a very small piece of land when they could have more if jordan wasn't created in the first place. Currently reading this.. :cool: In relation to this, I suggest reading "Exodus" also by Leon Uris..This is in turn the story Of How Israel was established..a bit of trivia..the philippines was mentioned in the book..

dix Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Five books which i consider to be a good read The World According to Garp by John Irving - Changed my life (i read it when i was 14 years old). Contact by Carl Sagan - Any book by Carl Sagan is definitely thought provoking and a good read. Carl Sagan's talent for melding hard science with great story telling makes for a very effective science fiction. This had me beleiving in the existence of otherworldly beings. The Dirt - Uncensored Biography of Motley Crue - Dishes out the debauchery of this dimwitted and mediocre band; a journey into the depths of rock and roll excess. Please k*ll Me - Uncensored Oral History of Punk by Legs McNeil - Debunks the myths surrounding the late lamented punk ideals , paints a human picture of the luminaries of this 70's musical and cultural revolution and points an attitude loaded middle finger at conformity, squares and narrowmindedness (the very core of punk rock). The Best of Penthouse Forum - I've been a Penthouse Forum reader since I was 13 and I still belive that all those reader sent stories are true and not made up by the editors.

Dr_PepPeR Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Currently reading this.. :cool: In relation to this, I suggest reading "Exodus" also by Leon Uris..This is in turn the story Of How Israel was established..a bit of trivia..the philippines was mentioned in the book.. Leon Uris is one of my favorites, his other novels that I have read and enjoyed are "Battle Cry", one his first books, about US Marines campaigning in the Pacific in WWII, "Mila 18" which graphically shows the Warsaw Ghetto uprising against the German occupation of Poland in WWII and "Trinity", the story of the fight for Irish independence. All of these are very informative and very readable. Quote Link to comment

puretuts Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Leon Uris is one of my favorites, his other novels that I have read and enjoyed are "Battle Cry", one his first books, about US Marines campaigning in the Pacific in WWII, "Mila 18" which graphically shows the Warsaw Ghetto uprising against the German occupation of Poland in WWII and "Trinity", the story of the fight for Irish independence. All of these are very informative and very readable. Aside from exudos,haj there is also another great book by Leon Uris about the persecution a an french officer because he was a jew. Based on a true story. Mila 18 was great. Love this one. Also Exodus. Its quit hard to find this books buti na lang my aunt collect books. Found almost all of Leon Uris books except for Battle Cry.

puretuts Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) The Mossad - the inside stories For those who like spy books, this is a great reak. The exploites of the Mossad. There success and there failures. A real page turner. > the kidnapping of Adolf Eichman in Argentina> the perfect spy - well almost; mossad agent who almost became Syria's minister of Defence> How they stole the plans for the mirage planes. They had to because of the French embargo of offensive weapons even if they had paid it already.> How a French fleet of warship was hijacked from its most secure harbor.> how a beautiful jewish Mata Hari inspires an Arab air ace to defect with his ultra secret Russian MIG.> How they planted a bomb inside the cellphone of the chief bomb maker of PLO. Blew his head off. Edited November 26, 2006 by puretuts Quote Link to comment
